As always, the deadline is nominally Sunday at midnight Eastern . Wouldn’t advise pushing the deadline, don’t want to be up when Santa shows up.
Go!

Santa: Next time, send real elves, OK?
Students: We don’t have any elves in FRC. No, seriously.
Santa: Then get these hats and shoes on or you’re all getting Fuel in your stockings this year!
[npoe] I did actually do a look to see if any FRC teams had “elf” or “elves” in the name. Not per TBA![/npoe]
One of these volunteers is not like the other.
Yes, you guessed it, the one not looking at the camera.
Santa walked into the wrong workshop, but everyone still got toys.
Having Santa as a mentor has its advantages, including North Pole Inc sponsorship, unlimited overnight shipping, access to a limited amount of elf labor, and a small amount of workshop space. It also has a few challenges as well. The workshop has low ceilings. The elves aren’t very good at rapid prototyping. And while FRC has been increasing fix-it windows and stretching the build season, Santa mandates the team stop build at exactly 6 weeks, otherwise his other deadlines may suffer. Overall a wash.

And while the robotics kids take a group photo with Santa, Pat takes a selfie with Santa in the background.
“If you’ve been really good this year, you just might get a game hint for Christmas.”

Frank Merrick as Santa brings Game Hints in your stockings.
Typical robotics kids. They don’t look at the rules, even when it says “READ IT!” in large type.
Is it my imagination, or are these elves getting bigger?

Santa was pleased with his new workshop until the resident FRC team hijacked it for 6 weeks after Kickoff…

Elves are actually really shy, so they need to recruit humans to do the actual giving.
Here’s proof of the new super-fast camera that was developed in Cali - it can even catch Santa posing for a picture during his super speedy journey.
[NPOE]Merry Christmas![/NPOE]
Students: Hey, Maybe if we’re nice, Santa will grant us everything on our FIRST choice list?
Santa: HO HO HO NOPE
Finally!
First place goes to:
